Once Was Not Enough - Doing It Again!

Cypress log home By Bill Mathews of Florida

Our life changed forever the day we walked into the Suwannee River Log Homes showroom and met their Senior Projects Manager Bill

We chose the Silverado Deluxe package and, with Bill’s help, customized the plan into our beautiful dream home.

The small town of Franklin, NC, had not seen cypress log homes – pine logs being the norm. While building, we found ourselves having to have an open house just about every Sunday for the locals that came by to see our house.

From the beginning, the beauty of the cypress logs, the professional and quality craftsmanship of the stackers and builders, to the finishing inside- locals and other builders came by asking questions and marveling at our home.

6 weeks before our logs were to be delivered, we found ourselves without the general contractor we’d hired to build our home.

With Bill’s help – educating me on finding & hiring our subcontractors, even calling and talking to them himself, and encouraging and supporting me emotionally- I became the GC. Then came the hurricane and flood… less than 2 years old, our home was flooded; over 4 feet of floodwater and mud came into our home. Suwannee and Bill were there for us again immediately, working with us and assisting State Farm Insurance. They sent engineers to inspect our home for construction damage, shifting, etc., and, unbelievably, our home stayed intact!

Cypress Logs and Suwannee River Log Homes is the only log home company in our book, and I urge anyone looking to call Bill! As we have done again. Unable to get away from our business, Bill drove 3 hours to meet us, and once again his patience, professionalism, and friendship helped us pick out 2 more log homes, and I look forward to, once again, with his and Suwannee’s help, becoming a General Contractor again!
